5. Oversize Primary Mirror diameters are greater than their listed aperture (e.g., the diameter of the 8" LX200™ GPS is actually 8.25"). This additional 1/4" yields a wide, fully illuminated field-of-view. The result is that Meade’s Schmidt Cassegrains have brighter off-axis field illuminations (aperture-for aperture) than competing Schmidt Cassegrain telescopes using non-oversized mirrors.

6. Smart Drive™ provides permanent periodic error correction (PPEC) on both axes by learning and averaging error over the course of one or more training periods, thereby minimizing guiding corrections during long-exposure photographs. PPEC is available on both axes and functions in both polar and altazimuth modes. MEADE EXCLUSIVE

8. LNT™ – Patented Level-North Technology allows you to quickly and precisely align your telescope by automatically leveling the telescope and determining True North. It then automatically slews the telescope to the first alignment star. MEADE EXCLUSIVE

9. Smart Mount™ constantly refines pointing accuracy each time an object is centered and updated. Compatible with both equatorial and altazimuth mounts.
